Anybody got a mystery box?
Any feedback or pictures/testimonials to share?
We are just starting to plan for the next one which could come out in two to three months, and could use some feedback.
This last batch was Propeller-centric, with mostly Propeller 1 chips included, and some got even a P2. Plus some BASIC Stamp modules/boards. Some did receive micro:bits (not many though).
Some boxes had previously discontinued modules, like the Javelin, or maybe a BASIKC Stamp 2p.

About all I noticed that the boxes I signed up to reminded about were sold-out within moments. And speaking of BASIC Stamp boards I'm still looking for more Stamp 1 boards and more Enterprise grade boards.
We had 55 boxes on the last batch, and yes, they were sold out within the hour. We will try to make more next time so they last on sale for at least a day.
You can always sign up for the Waitlist and get an email notification as soon as they go on sale:

We already have about 30 people on the waitlist. We always watch that number and try to release more boxes than the number of people in the list.
Just FYI: Tried to order a box to Finland, but the system complained that the address was incorrect, same address has worked earlier.
Sorry to hear that. We are working on updating a section of the website to improve the shipping options.
